Hand-Dug Hot Spring at Kusharo Lake Suna-yu

Suna-yu is located on the shores of Kusharo Lake in Teshikaga Town, a mysterious spot where hot springs well up when you dig the sandy beach by hand. You can dig your own personal hot spring and enjoy foot baths or half-body soaking. In winter, swans gather to stay warm, and you can encounter the fantastical sight of swans swimming elegantly in the steam from the hot spring. No tools are needed—the simplicity of digging sand with bare hands is popular with both children and adults alike. It's free and available 24 hours.
